Hi all , the elusive GT3037/GT3076R 52T is in the bag and I'm going to need to start gathering fitting bits .

The thing I haven't seen mentioned is the air inlet pipe that runs between the compressor housings snout and the std or Z32 AFM . Does anyone make them preferably in aluminium and with the extra fittings for the recirc plumbing etc ?

Also do people usually buy longer studs to bolt them up on the std exhaust manifold ?

I tried searching first and started into Lithium's and Mafias threads but don't have time to read right through them .

Also Cubes you have mentioned a bell mouthed dump pipe design for the Garrett GT30 IW turbine housings outlet . I;m curious to know if it differs from the "shell back" types some use up in QLD .

The pics are of my turbo and a HKS Pro S kits air inlet pipe .

Thanks all , cheers Adrian .

Are you running a POD?

I'll assume you are, and then you are running a CAI setup... to which its probably best to go custom.

Something that puts the AFM as far as possible from the turbo inlet :blush:

Then you'll find custom - most dont allow for a stock airbox (which you might find is ok)

GTR airboxes regularly run well into the 300rwkw range, almost 400 in a few cases i know of...

Perhaps stick a GTR one in (if there is some way to adapt?)

i made up my own intake pipe with a bit of 100mm pipe with a 45 bend in it. used a 100-80mm silicone reducer/joiner to clamp the afm onto it and bought a couple random fittings from enzed for the Bov plumback and pcv. cheap and works perfectly

Lithiums is a 4" stainless pipe custom made AFAIK, but he is not using AFM.

And i also believe he has a spacer between the manifold and turbo, so yeah id say longer studs would be a go. Best bet would be to PM him. He loves to talk Turbo :)

The Garrett style housing does not necessitate a shellback style dump, whereas the HKS one does. Doing either a divorced pipe off the turbine, or a bellmouth for that Garrett housing would be relatively simple. I've only seen one other example of that HKS style, and it came from HKS.

Jonno do you have any pics of your inlet pipe to post up? Also interested to know if yours suffers from any stalling issues?

90deg Mandrel 3" pipe + 45deg Mandrel 3" pipe = Custom intake pipe that works with the airbox, I made one the other day.

A bit of chopping, a 3-4" reducer and a 3" sleeve. Just chop the ends off the bov recirc and rocker breather pipes, weld them onto the intake pipe and join with rubber.

Femno do you have any pics of your pipe ? Also Stainless to prevent corrosion or powder coated mild steel ?

This stalling business , would it have anything to do with the inlet pipe being 4"/100mm to suit the compressor housings boss and reducing to say 3"/76mm close to the mass airflow meter ?

I'm just wondering if having it 3" from the AFM to just before the turbo and stepping up to 4" a little before the turbo would be better . The AFM sets the basic size and I'm not sure if the increased volume (and effects on pressure) downstream of the AFM would have side effects such as the air speed almost stopping in a return to idle situation .

Looking at it from the turbos perspective the compressors inducer is ~ 57mm (56T) and its only the inlets bell mouth insert (if you have the HKS style one) and the diameter of the outer shroud that takes it up to 4"/100mm .

Interestingly one version of the GT3037 Pro S's port shrouded inlet has a 90mm outer shroud and I don't think they suffer any power loss up to an advertised 470 PS . 90mm is a tad over 3 1/2 inches .

From memory non port shrouded T04E compressor housings are 70mm (OD) on the inlet boss so the ID of 3" tube would still be a little larger than that . If you're still not happy with that then 3 1/4 would take the ID up to somewhere around 78mm .

Just to give a bit of an idea of the cross sectional difference I crunched the numbers for 100 90 80 and 76mm .

Expressed as centimeters it looks like this

100mm/10cm Pi x r squared = 78.53 cm square .

90mm/9cm Pi x r squared = 62.62 cm square .

80mm/8cm Pi x r squared = 50.26 cm square .

76mm/7.6 cm Pi x r squared = 45.36 cm square .

It shows more than a 50% increase in area from 80mm to 100mm and once you start to look at it in say a 30 cm long duct and cubic cm's the difference would be ~ 2356cc vs 1508cc . Possibly enough of a difference with the lower volume duct to keep the MAF awake .

Later , cheers A .

has never caused me any troubles, just made sure it was all clamped nice and tight and havent touched it since

couple of crappy pics, didnt take any before i put it in unfortunately

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
